Brian John McKechnie (born November 6, 1953) was a "double All Black", that is, he represented New Zealand in both rugby union and cricket. He played 26 matches with the All Blacks, as a five-eighth and fullback, and 14 one day games with the Black Caps, including the infamous "underarm" match against Australia in 1981, when McKechnie was the batsman who faced Trevor Chappell's underarm delivery in the final ball of the match.
